Are you suggesting anyone who can work but doesn’t are not a drain on our system?  The use of economy in this instance is odd.

I think anyone that can work that doesnt work is not a drain on our system. Examples include:

Stay at home parents help build those family values you so covet.

Students that want to focus on their education instead of working (positive impact on education scores)

Retirees

One who is so entrenched in this theory will label the ones that pushback as deniers, that is where it goes off the rail.  That is where we are today.

Not true. It is very obvious who the deniers are just based on the arguments they are trying to make

I agree, but when our government, or at least the present government, has deemed climate change as an existential  threat and are making policy that affects us all based on a yet unproven theory pushback is required.

There is a difference between pushback and denial.

I agree. You would have to be willfullly blind not to see the DOJ is actively working against Trump. They literally said that Biden was guilty of mishandling classified documents, but they weren't going to charge him "because the jury would likely not convict" because he is elderly.  Yeah, they always let people go based that. And then charge his political opponent for the same crime. You can't make this stuff up. They aren't even trying to hide it any more. It's part of the intimidation factor for others who want to oppose them. It will be interesting to see if Judge Cannon throws it out based on selective prosecution.  That issue is now on her docket. 

I get what you are saying, and would agree with you if it were anyone without Trump's history. Trump has been involved in over 3000 court cases before he made his original presidential bid.

7 from the men's side still stand from 2009. 2010 was when they banned the full body suits, and it's looking like the athletes are starting to catch up to the difference the suits made.

Come on, there were no burning of the American flag before and now its common place.

A crazy person's voice has a higher chance of being accepted today than 50 years ago because of the internet.

No, 48 years ago the SCOTUS declared burning of the American flag was free speech, that didn’t come from crazies, it created the crazies.

Not sure how a judge ruling could create crazies? There were crazies then as evidenced by your video and there are crazies now.

The only difference is that now it is very easy for the crazies voice to be heard by many anonymously, whereas before their voices would be heard by only those that know they are crazy.

What would you call inserting that I didn’t care about people dieing into a conversation which I didn’t say and then pointing out I don’t care about the people that died from COVID?

False assumption?

You have people on the board that are defending terrorism abroad and at home.

You are literally one of them when you defend the parents that show up to school board meetings and threaten the school board members.

Caring about millions of people dying is "virtue signaling?" Get over myself? What a complete jackass you are. I'm sure you'd feel the exact same if someone in your family died from it, right? 

It's not. He's already proven it in the past he doesn't fully understand what virtue signaling is. He just knows it's a buzz word and is desperate to use it.

You aren’t in charge of running the country where adding additional disruption could spill over to more chaos.  Would you allow Palestinian refuges chanting *death to America* in your house?

Not all Palestinians chant that, just like not all Democrats want to defund the police, just like not all Republicans believe COVID was a scam. 

I would also hope we have a strong enough culture that we could handle adding an extra <0.5% of the population for refugees.

Why won’t Jordan, Egypt and the Saudi’s take them in?  Why wouldn’t we fully vet these people?

We are investigation parents for disrupting school board meetings and looking the other way with all the campus unrest.  Biden is weak leader to say the least.

I've never been one to care what other people are / aren't doing when it relates to doing the right thing.

Can a Biden fanboy please explain how this is a good thing?

 

Just like MAGA is a subset of Republicans is a subset of Americans, HAMAS is only a subset of Palestinians. To refuse refugees who want no part in the war that they had no control over is inhumane.

While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic. What does this mean? “Constitutional” refers to the fact that government in the United States is based on a Constitution which is the supreme law of the United States. The Constitution not only provides the framework for how the federal and state governments are structured, but also places significant limits on their powers.

A Constitutional Republic is a form of a Liberal Democracy
